The Ministry Of Signs And Wonders

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 8, 2019

Jesus said the supernatural Signs and Wonders are to “accompany those who believe” (Mark 16:17a NIV), and they should be fully understood by every Christian that they are to accompany them wherever they are.

Many within the church believe that after the Apostles died and their writings were collected in the New Testament, the place of Signs and Wonders in evangelism has passed, and Christians should not pursue them today. This does not mean miracles don't happen. It just says they are not the ...read more

Being Persecuted

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 2, 2022

Suffering may not be a common topic of conversation in our lives but suffering for the sake of Jesus, being persecuted because we follow Him, is something Jesus told us to expect.

As we live our Christian lives there are a lot of questions that are related to the Christian Life that don't really fall into life and death categories. Questions like: what's your favorite version of the bible? How can I be a better group member? Or the BIG ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION: if a ...read more

"hate Speech" According To Jesus: A Refresher Course

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 5, 2022

The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated for telling the truth about sin, spiritual death, and the need for redemption found only in Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). This message is still hated by the world today. Some things never change.

I want to begin with defining a term describing the attempts of Christians who, no matter how well-meaning their intentions, somehow believe that they can make friends with a worldview that hates them no matter what they do, say, or imitate. They bend over backwards trying to "fit in" ...read more

What The World Hates...

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023

How did we get to a point where there are those that sit in a church who don’t believe what is necessary to be saved, let alone what it is to be a true Christian? Well, this is a problem of leadership.

I always try to make the distinction between what the Bible calls a church, and what we think a church is…the Bible speaks of the church as the collected body of true believers in Christ Jesus, while we think the church is a building like this and all the people contained within it. This I say so ...read more
